Risk of landslides on Nang river banks from sand mining under the riverbed

BBK- According to local residents, in recent days, sand mining under the Nang River, through Thuong Giao Commune, the area bordering Cho Ra Town (Ba Be), has posed a potential risk of landslides on agricultural land and residential land.

According to some residents, sand mining involves the use of large-engine sand suction machines and floating ships to suck sand at many points on this section of the river, especially during holidays when this activity occurs more frequently. Some riverbank locations have shown signs of erosion; residents are concerned that the situation will continue if not controlled.

Bac Kan Newspaper would like to send this information to the People's Committee of Ba Be District to direct specialized agencies and local authorities to clarify the information reported by the people. Bac Kan Newspaper will continue to inform readers about the results of handling this incident in the near future./.
